Please lay down your pistols and your riflesPlease lay down your colours and your creedsPlease lay down your thoughts of being no-oneConcentrate on what you ought to beThen lay down your bullshit and your protestsThen lay down your governments of greedTake a look at what lies all around youThen pray god we can live in peace

Everyone's a loner 'till he needs a helping handEveryone is everybody elseEveryone's a no-one 'till he wants to make a standGod alone knows how we will survive

So please lay down your pistols and your riflesPlease lay down your colours and your creedsPlease lay down your thoughts of being no-oneConcentrate on what you ought to be

Everyone's a loner 'till he needs a helping handEveryone is everybody elseEveryone's a no-one 'till he wants to make a standGod alone knows how we will survive
